The last place on earth for Tapa
31 May 2010 | Fatu Hiva, French Polynesia
Julie
Ray has informed me he's traded his DVD player and some DVD's for some Tapa painting and a carved Tiki (no pics available I'm afraid) and I'm looking forward to seeing them when I visit him in Fiji down the track. Here's some info on the Tapa anyway...
Copy and pic taken from www.northernwinds81506.com/ Marquesas.html:
"Fatu Hiva is the last Island in French Polynesia where tapa cloth is still made. Tapa is made by peeling the bark off one of several species of trees. These relatively dry strips of bark are soaked and kept wet while being pounded thin with wooden mallets over a log. Here you see the wet bark folded into layers and placed on a stone. Once it has been pounded thoroughly it is then opened up and dried, ready for painting. Tapa can be drawn on and used as wall coverings, artwork and floor mats. Usually decorated with geometric designs."
